The national park, known for its biodiversity, covers 800 square miles of mountainous terrain. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park that is why I planned my three-day excursion in late May to avoid crowds and the heat of the summer. May’s weather can be unpredictable as change can occur rapidly, so I brought rain gear and plan to dress in layers.

  • Tennessee's State Parks In The 1930s

    1838 Words  | 8 Pages

    If it weren’t for the “New Deal” programs in the 1930s, Tennessee’s State Park system would be unrecognizable and not one of the best in the United States (US). With the assistance of federal money and guidance, Tennessee has been able to create an integrated system of parks that capture the natural beauty and character of Tennessee while providing amazing outdoor public recreation activities. The programs helped establish state parks; influenced Tennessee’s governmental structure to ensure the vision of regional planning and interconnectivity continued; and developed a land planning strategy that is still used today. Visiting any one of the current 56 State Parks will provide an insight to Tennessee’s long history with the federal government.

    While I am sure you read this with your jaw slack at our survival we must put aside, for the moment, the welcomings and move on to the pressing issue that has had our great and growing nation in squabble and controversy these past two years, during which I have been away upon the beauty of our first defining investment. The splendor of this new world of our own is profound and awe inspiring, yet many, having not felt the crisp clear waters of the rivers, laid their eyes upon the dream-like falls of the Missouri, or breathed the air atop the Grand Rocky mountains, speak, without knowing its magnificence, of this entire ecosystem’s worth.

    I have decided to observe and study the effects that humans have on the Appalachian Trail. With so many hikers coming through year round, there will most definitely be traces of humans along the trail besides just trail markers and signs. Things such as trash, lost supplies or other items that may have adverse effects on the environment are likely to be seen on the trail, my goal is to clean these things up and at the same time get a better understanding of the true impact humans have on the trail. The Appalachian trail, while still relatively unfamiliar to me intrigues me. From as far back as I can remember, my family and I have been traveling up to New York to the Adirondack mountains to camp, hike, swim and so much more.
